Three particles lie in the xy plane. Particle 1 has mass m1 = 6.7 kg and lies on the x-axis at x1 = 4.2 m, y1 = 0. Particle 2 ha
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N

\theta=30.276^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of first particle, m_1=6.7\ kg

mass of second particle, m_2=5.1\ kg

mass of third particle, m_3=3.7\ kg

coordinate position of first particle in meters, (x_1,y_1)\equiv(4.2,0)

coordinate position of second particle in meters, (x_2,y_2)\equiv(0,2.8)

coordinate position of third particle in meters, (x_3,y_3)\equiv(0,0)

<u>Now, gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 1:</u>

F_{31}=G\frac{m_1.m_3}{r_{31}^2}

F_{31}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{6.7\times 3.7}{4.2^2}

F_{31}=9.37\times 10^{-11}\ N

towards positive Y axis.

<u>gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 2:</u>

F_{32}=G\frac{m_2.m_3}{r_{21}^2}

F_{32}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{5.1\times 3.7}{2.8^2}

F_{32}=16.05\times 10^{-11}\ N

towards positive X axis.

<u>Now the net force</u>

F=\sqrt{F_{31}\ ^2+F_{32}\ ^2}

F=\sqrt{(10^{-11})^2(9.37^2+16.05^2)}

F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N

<em>For angle in counterclockwise direction from the +x-axis</em>

tan\theta=\frac{9.37\times 10^{-11}}{16.05\times 10^{-11}}

\theta=30.276^{\circ}

zmey [24]
This statement is true. The point located at the geometric center of an object is indeed called the object's center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average of the weight of a resultant of the parallel forces, including all the particles that is passing through its body.

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

A(n) ________ microscope keeps an object in focus when the objective lens is changed.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Parfocal is the term used to describe a microscope that maintains focus when the objective lenses are replaced.

<h3>What is the name of the objective lens ?</h3>

For observing minute features within a specimen sample, a high-powered objective lens, often known as a "high dry" lens, is perfect. You can see a very detailed image of the specimen on your slide thanks to the 400x total magnification that a high-power objective lens and a 10x eyepiece provide.

The four objective lenses on your microscope are for scanning (4x), low (10x), high (40x), and oil immersion (100x).

The first-stage lens used to create a picture from electrons leaving the specimen is referred to as the "objective lens." The objective lens is the most crucial component of the imaging system since the quality of the images is determined by how well it performs (resolution, contrast, etc.,).
